No one else seems to have the cult following that he inspires (inexplicably, but there it is.) JD would not have the loyalty behind him. Unfortunately, impeachment won't happen until we take back the House and then the Senate won't convict. There are few people I wish would drop dead of a heart attack but he is definitely one of them.
JD is younger, equally petulant, grossly ambitious and dangerously foolish. His disdain for respect granted to our allies is evident. His diplomatic acumen is equal to that of a child. A petulant baby! The orange guy is predictably easy. We’ve seen his MO before. Hence we know very well what the orange guy will do. Golf! Besides, there’s only about 1300 days left for the current regime. Can’t end soon enough!
Mr. Keillor, you are on the mark with every word in this post. I am hopeful that the right people will read your work and come to their senses. A cowpie is much too kind to describe the mess we are in.
What you fail to understand is the hypocrisy. This "joke" would have made front-page news, with scandalized Republicans apoplectic about the horror of it, and the Fox Entertainment Network talking heads would be in a lather for the next six years if a Democrat had the poor taste to do something even remotely like it. They went goofy over President Obama wearing a tan suit, for crying out loud.
Delusion speaks! Just think about someone telling a joke about your dead mother after the funeral at the get together. For example, if they dressed up like her and mimicked her? Would you get the joke?
"reality speaks," please take your insults and conspiracy theories to 4chan or some other dark and twisted corner of the Internet. I'd like to remind everyone that this is the person who claims to have seen video of Haitians eating our cats and dogs, and who "knows for a fact" that Chinese people eat cats because he "used to have a side gig" selling cats to China.
so nice to hear from you again. Hope all is well and your family is well too. Unlike you I do not feel the need to attack you over everything little thing we might disagree on.
Exceptionally well said, Garrison. I am restacking this and cross posting it to my modest readership. Excellent work on a dismal disgusting subject of utter dismay.
I am in a waiting room as my beloved husband undergoes surgery and this message has me giggling like a fool with tears flowing down my face. What can the staff be thinking?
I hope for you both it all goes well, and tears are the cure at times, from laughter are the best! joy really is love too! And love of life and all it’s many manifestations…
Mike Johnson and Thune? Oh, please! A religious fanatic and a weakling who has fear written all over his face every time he has to face a journalist. They won't save us.
The fear on all of their faces is palpable. The only ones who do not have it are trump and Miller. Their evil runs deep and eliminates any fear. But, look at Bessent! He looks terrified every time he speaks… and even when he is standing with them. He is thinking of what happened to trump’s lackeys in the first term.
The dilemma we face as a nation - as a people, the America we cherish, the America that for so long was a beacon of hope for a world awash in despair - has been so systematically tarnished and degraded that removing the singular architect of that degradation would simply usher in a government built upon that person’s sinister and corrupt ideals. Somehow, as a nation of laws and principles, lofty ideals, patriotic passion and compassion for the downtrodden, we must embrace radical regime change. The whole rotten lot of them must go. I fear we’re past the tipping point. That man and his “movement” have so thoroughly corrupted the system and his followers are so deluded and passionate in their delight in him that I fear our American dream is done.
Garrison, I am grateful for this head on and fully justified assault on the horror that is the president, his cronies and the GOP spineless lawmakers who enable him. I thought in your beginning paragraphs that you would again go at it all obliquely but no, full speed ahead and damn the torpedoes for which I thank you. I am not holding my breath for Johnson or Thune to remember and act on the fact that their oath is to the Constitution and not to the dangerous embarrassment in the Oval. They care about money, power and their jobs far more than they will ever care about the country and they certainly don't care about the vulnerable people whose lives are being destroyed by this government. Only a larger shift in their voting blocks will move them which is why it is all hands on deck for protests (huge, nationwide one coming on June 14), letter writing, calls to reps, donations where one can and anything else that can be thought of and done.
I wrote these lyrics to Bob Dylan's iconic "Times They Are A-Changin'" and I am trying to live by them:
So let’s come together the young and the old
We’ll fight for our rights. We won’t let them be sold.
Our power together is richer than gold.
As long as we keep on engagin’
We’re the people’s voice
And we won’t be controlled!
Yes, the times we will be changin’!
Thank you for your clear and clarion voice, Sir. It is so needed. As is everyone's.
Brilliant! I was also laughing and crying in equal measure like another of your readers. But I agree with the one who said you give too much credit to Johnson and Thune. They are too cowardly and have not enough integrity and conviction to pull it off, sadly.
Well- hearing Christian fundamentalist ministers declare that Democrats are satanic and if any of them are in their audience they want them to leave is what has made this crowd of small minded group of cultist continue to support him- and they continue to do this as tax free entities. It makes me happy that I am old and probably near death- but our children and grandchildren?
Thank you Garrison for having the ability to express in writing what so many of us are feeling. I'm closing in on 80 and never imagined the black cloud that is now hanging over this country.
Sir, the only flaw in removing this malignant entity from office is that, Constitutionally, someone just as boorish and ignorant would succeed him.
No one else seems to have the cult following that he inspires (inexplicably, but there it is.) JD would not have the loyalty behind him. Unfortunately, impeachment won't happen until we take back the House and then the Senate won't convict. There are few people I wish would drop dead of a heart attack but he is definitely one of them.
As daily evidence there is no vengeful Old Testament God, he still walks the world testing our faith and courage.
yes, impeachment probably won't happen, but it would change the news cycle, and maybe just maybe help with the "mid terms". Charges should be made.
At that point we start the process over, again....simple.
JD is younger, equally petulant, grossly ambitious and dangerously foolish. His disdain for respect granted to our allies is evident. His diplomatic acumen is equal to that of a child.

Mr. Keillor, you are on the mark with every word in this post. I am hopeful that the right people will read your work and come to their senses. A cowpie is much too kind to describe the mess we are in.
Bravo, sir. And please ignore the angry, hateful MAGAts who will come here with their tired “But her emails!” rhetoric.
or it was Bidens fault
Whatever Fox News tells them… 🙄
Whatever their ‘Rice Krispies’ tell them!
Amen 1,000% Mr. Keillor. You are a national treasure this American is proud to claim.
Since you failed to understand the joke might be why your no longer funny yourself
Not “your” - check your grammar.
Make you feel superior that you point out such a minor issue?
Good grief—hoping you’re trying to be sarcastic.
"...you are, not "your." Misspellings reveal quite a lot.
The fact that you point it out reveals much more about you. The fact that I suck at thumb typing doesn’t imply a thing.
It's not thumb typing that's the problem. It's your brain and what it's focused on, i.e. conspiracy theories and supposedly selling cats as food.
You are so mistaken.
You’re so misinformed.
Your posts reveal the idiocy of embracing Trump and his delusions.
What you fail to understand is the hypocrisy. This "joke" would have made front-page news, with scandalized Republicans apoplectic about the horror of it, and the Fox Entertainment Network talking heads would be in a lather for the next six years if a Democrat had the poor taste to do something even remotely like it.

I’m thinking JD and his conservatives friends have a shared pope outfit they share at parties…their Pope Palantir outfit!
At least attempt the use of proper grammar. This simply highlights your ignorance. Or is it “you’re” ignorance?🤔

These are not little things. Are you going to start lecturing us again about people whose gender you don't approve of?
You’re
How awful a person are you?
Also, do you not know how to edit your post?? That is an issue.
What was the “joke”? What was funny? If your joke lands with a thud, perhaps your sense of humor is faulty.

Bless you both. Sending you healing thoughts♥️🙏🏻

My best good vibes to you both.

Professional wrestling with ‘reality’ in the ring…who will win?

Bowel Movement…he does the toddler ‘Poopie Face’…you know when he’s pooping too.
Another lunatic spew!

Said perfectly! It is good to be in your company.
Oh Garrison. You brought me to tears. Thank you kind sir. America says thank you. Bless you♥️🇺🇸👏

"...the tulips are in full color" Sounds like hometown Holland, MI

St. Peter laughing in their faces as he reads back their hate and fear, ‘You’re in the wrong line buddy!’
And more laughter…they need to rethink their religion.
Too harsh? Not when I see the ‘Hooded ‘police’’ capturing people off the street.
WWJD?
Thank you Garrison for having the ability to express in writing what so many of us are feeling. I'm closing in on 80 and never imagined the black cloud that is now hanging over this country.
Same here, Dick, just turned 78. Hoping to survive long enough to see this blight on our nation obliterated !
